Package: mysql-server
Severity: minor
Hi,
I get the following output from logrotate:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql.log
/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
Looking at the relevant script, it has:
if [ -z "`$MYADMIN ping 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
# Really no mysqld or rather a missing debian-sys-maint user?
# If this occurs and is not a error please report a bug.
if ps cax | grep -q mysqld; then
exit 1
fi
I have mysql-server installed for another 3rd party package that starts
its own copy of mysqld with its own config file etc., so there is a
mysqld process, but it doesn't use the config files under /etc/mysql
(and it's not running as the normal user either). I'm not running mysqld
from /etc/init.d/mysql, because I don't need it.
As requested, in the comment, I'm reporting this as a bug. I realise it
is a tricky case, sorry about that. Maybe you could provide a config
file /etc/default/mysql, and allow a user to set a variable like
MYSQLD_ENABLE=no, that would prevent the daemon from starting, and
also prevent the logrotate scripts from trying to do anything.
